A Psychotherapist Paints: Insights from the Border of Art and Psychotherapy

ABSTRACT

Nitsun was surprised that these pictures evoked extreme reactions. Perhaps less well known is that throughout his career as a psychologist Nitsun has also been a painter, exhibiting and selling his work to an enthusiastic audience. Morris Nitsun is well known as a consultant psychologist, psychotherapist and group analyst;his publications include the seminal work I The Anti-Group i , published in 1996, I The Group as an Object of Desire i (2006) and I Beyond the Anti-Group i (2015). This "artist's matrix" gave Nitsun the impetus to create more pictures in anticipation of the next group exploration.
